Flight of the Concords and Korean Karaoke

So the flight of the concords does it again with Korean Karaoke. Complete with ridiculous background videos and all!!!

Naked Jake has vacated this kimchi stand

Recently one of my best friends, Jake who will be hence forth referred to as Naked Jake (people that know him understand this moniker), has left the country to return back to California. He had the unfortunate situation of being placed in one of the teaching English in Korea horror stories that every expat here knows of [...]

Funny things

Sometimes during my travels through Korea I will see things that just … well just dumbfound me. Either things that I have to assume are mistranslations but can’t fathom what word was attempted to translate or and advertisement that frankly just doesn’t make sense…here are examples of both.

White trash photos with Korean kids

So last Friday my school decided to have a theme day to teach the students some Western culture, namely Canada Day (July 1st) and Independence Day (July 4th). Well basically the lessons for me turned out to be a complete disaster because the way I planned my lesson just totally did not happen. First I had [...]

The Apex

I was enlightened to a new phenomenon in Korea that did not exist in my lexicon of experiences. Normally on a Saturday night I end up going out to some hot spot in Pusan such as Kyungseung (경성), PNU (부산대학교), Haeundae (해운대), or Semyeon (서면) and hitting the local bars, clubs, or Makgeolli place (막걸리). Last [...]

Contractual flaws

So I was discussing with Gordo something that made my coworker Matt and I laugh. In my contract at my Hagwon here in Korea it says that I can’t physically punish one of my students for more than 10 minutes. I natural never physically punish any of my students just because it goes against my ethics. [...]

Blantantly plagiarized from Ari

So Ari posted this list of items about Korea and they still make me laugh. Especially the stuff about the fruit trucks and Korean women and men. LOL

(This post is mainly in honor of the fact that I will soon vacate this place and also for Ryan, who is only about to begin, which is maybe [...]

Motorgang in Gyeongju (경주시)

Last weekend I went up to Gyeongju to do some traveling outside of Pusan. I originally wanted to leave earlier than I did but I had way to late of a night that included seeing the sunrise brightening the night. Luckily during that late night I met some awesome new peoples including Bryan and his girlfriend [...]

Hand fed

So the other day my coworker Matt and I decided to try this Japanese/Korean fusion restaurant that I have been eyeballing for a long time (it seemed to have character and was always packed full of people…that’s always a good sign). So we go in there and we were handed a menu all in Hangul, which [...]
